New research could help us deliver genes for new bone formation
UK scientists are working on new methods to regenerate cartilage and bone by delivering genes to stem cells within the body to instruct them to turn into bone cells. view more (2005-09-29)
Study shows cats can succumb to feline Alzheimer's disease
Ageing cats can develop a feline form of Alzheimer's disease, a new study reveals. Scientists at the Universities of Edinburgh, St Andrews, Bristol and California have identified a key protein which can build up in the nerve cells of a cat's brain and cause mental deterioration. view more (2006-12-06)
Better funding needed for chronic disease
More funding, increased workforce resources and further reform of the health system are needed if the national chronic disease strategy is going to deliver better care to patients suffering from diseases such as diabetes, asthma and cancer, according to an international primary health expert. view more (2006-02-06)
Exercise boosts sex hormone in older men
Older men who take regular and intensive exercise produce more growth hormone and testosterone, the male sex hormone, than those who lead an inactive life, according to researchers at the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Men aged 55-65 who ran more than 40 miles a week were found to have higher levels of both hormones in their bodies compared to... view more... (2000-05-30)

Vitamin D found in fish boosts brain power
Eating fish - long considered 'brain food' - may really be good for the old grey matter, as is a healthy dose of sunshine, new research suggests. view more (2009-05-21)
A new brake on cellular energy production discovered
A condition that has to be met for the body to be able to keep warm, move and even survive is that the mitochondria - the cells' power stations - release the right amounts of energy. view more (2007-07-27)
High altitude life may make women age before their time
n women, ageing is accompanied by a drop in the serum concentration of hormones such as DHEA/ DHEAS1, growth hormone, and ovarian sex hormones. Now new hormone research, published in the Journal of Endocrinology, indicates that women living at high altitude may age faster than those who live at sea level. A team led by Dr Gustavo Gonzales studied... view more... (2002-04-18)
Cancer Survival Rates Higher Than Previously Assumed
Conventional estimates for life expectancy after cancer diagnosis have been too pessimistic, suggests a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. There are two main ways of quantifying survival estimates after cancer diagnosis. The conventional method, known as the cohort method, is based on the survival experience of cancer patients whose... view more... (2002-10-09)
Fine-tuning lasers to destroy blood-borne diseases like AIDS
Physicists in Arizona State University have designed a revolutionary laser technique which can destroy viruses and bacteria such as AIDS without damaging human cells and may also help reduce the spread of hospital infections such as MRSA. view more (2007-11-01)
Smokers with heavily lined faces run five times the risk of progressive lung disease (COPD)
Middle aged smokers, who are heavily lined with wrinkles, are five times as likely to have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD for short, suggests research published ahead of print in Thorax. view more (2006-06-14)
Seeing what we are thinking
At last we can see ourselves thinking, using the technique known as functional brain imaging (fMRI), and some of the exciting developments in this field were described in a series of papers presented today, Thursday 29 March, at The British Psychological Society's Centenary Annual Conference, held at the SECC, Glasgow. Dr Adrian Owen, of the... view more... (2001-03-26)

Women with diabetes at high risk of mental decline
Women with diabetes have worse mental (cognitive) function and suffer greater cognitive decline than women without diabetes, warn researchers. Cognitive decline is an intermediate stage between normal ageing and dementia. This study will be available on bmj.com on Monday 23 February 2004. Researchers interviewed 18,999 women aged 70-81 years, who... view more... (2004-02-20)
